Sophos scanning network locations

Hello all,

A bit of info before i go on, we just installed Enterprise Console 5.2 on a clean 2012 R2 server, deployed to a few test machines as this is replacing an old symantec solution.

The problem is that we use Quest for keeping an eye on folder activity (opening, deleting ect) but since 2 of our laptops had sophos installed Quest reports that the user accounts tied to the laptops are continually scanning our network location where home drives are located, Quest doesn't report the same activity for my machine, the only differences is that the other 2 users have offline folders enabled for their home drives and i'm on Win7 to their Win8.1, we have added the CSC folder to the exclusions in the hope this was the cause.

Any advice appreciated.

    That is what sophos suggested but i'm concerned that disabling that will mean that if a user opens a document from the file server it won't be scanned locally, granted the file server is protected but I prefer the extra layer of protection, unless i'm understanding it wrong.
